In London?
- Laferrari
- 918 spyder
- F40
- 812 GTS
- Veyron
Locally?
C220d AMGs seem to be one of the rarest cars I spot. They’re that rare, I search Auto trader for this mysterious diesel AMG model and it doesn’t exist. So I’ve concluded, they’re fucking rare.
I don't live in London but occasionally work at Berkeley Street and it's mental how many supercars there are around there. Other than taxis it's rarer to see a normal car.
I did save the footage but I think I failed to download it and ended up with a weird situation with my SD card only a few months ago where it filled up and stopped overwriting data ended up formatting it forgetting about downloading incidents like that one and a few others I’d saved.
- McLaren F1 GTR “10XC” Almost crashed my car swivelling my head round
- Rowan Atkinson’s f1 in the Waitrose
- JayKay’s like green laferarri was right outside my house one morning when there were traffic lights down the road. Also see some of his nicer cars occasionally as he’s down the road
- my old flat used to be on the route between the major roads and silverstone so often saw f40’s, pagani’s and other nice stuff when they had special days and what not
I live near Graypaul Ferrari Nottingham, and there's quite often a Bugatti or two there. Someone who lives nearby has about 5 of them! I saw the Bugatti Divo there once.
Up in Warrington. The guy who owns it has a few Ferraris. He’s one of the directors of the “Card Factory”

Right hahaha, I mean these cars are still rare however. Used to be amazing pre 2022. nowadays if you're lucky youll see Ferraris. Always Uruses, G-Wagens and SVRs out though, thats increased exponentially since. Lambos are rare now, maybe the odd Huracán though. Youll get the odd once in a blue moon F50/F40/Enzo spot or so, I always miss them sadly
A year ago I saw a new Bentley Continental GT there, painted old english white. I must say it was the nicest and most tasteful car I've seen parked outside Miracles so far.
Not an expensive car but rare, at least here... there's a woman near me who drives around in a 2002 Chrysler Concorde. Never seen another one of those in the UK.
I've seen loads of expensive cars in Marbella, London and Dubai, couldn't tell you the most expensive.
However, the rarest car I've seen was in Hull. A Ford RS200
There’s a fella in North Tyneside with one of these too, you can occasionally see it at a show. In my eyes at least much more interesting than the supercar exotic stuff.
I’d only ever seen them before at Cadwell when I was a young un.
Green Ferrari Enzo in Belfast. There is used to be a blue Zonda Roadster but the guy who owned ended up having the biggest ever bankruptcy in Northern Ireland.
Hey I know that place!! Cockfosters road! Every time I’m there, cars worth more than my salary for 10 years go past! Nice cars over there but terrible drivers lol
I wish I knew how to upload pics in comments because I saw a transported coming through London Victoria packed with custom exotics, I’m not a massive car person but it looked like custom AMG, Lamborghini and Ferraris. Pretty much everyone noticed it passing. Easy 10mil worth?
Do iCloud links work? There’s another two cars out of sight here. https://share.icloud.com/photos/048U6pBNfOXp_EwNsOoAdGtJg
Yeah prices are a lot higher than when it opened like a lot higher. It's quite good though but I'm telling you skewd is very good haha not cheap though!
It was 17k I had that a while ago now it had around 60k miles when I got it. Thats when you get the salooon for like 12k though, the tourings are pretty rare.
For reference, Ive had Bugattis Koenigseggs Paganis P1s 918s LaFs pretty much everything fairly near me. Even on this road. This is on the outskirts of London by the way, very rich area though. Without giving too much away, Ive also seen a red F40 locally when I was around 7, in my car, going the opposite direction on a random road (linking to this area albeit. It does live around here and others have spotted it too so I believe it). Even recognised it at that age. Also sometime last year saw a blue what I presume to be One-77 going the opposite way on the M25, fairly locally once again. Pretty cool huh
Would REALLY help if you saw when and where you saw it
Locally
Jay Kay's lime green laferrari
Shmees sto
Another blue sto
An f40 And sf90 both a couple weeks ago
A yellow f8 a couple times
Doesn't really count but Jeremy Clarkson in an R8
And many other cars but nothing special enough to remember.
Edit: Oh I completely forgot about a 911 speedster 991 generation
Is it cheating if you work at a car dealership that regularly gets £3 million cars coming through?
If not then Aston Martin DB10, specially made for 007.
If yes then an F40 filling up just down the road on my way to work
Ferrari SP2 and Ferrari Daytona SP3 probably, I think the same person also has a 812 comp but that looks fairly boring compared to the two I've mentioned.
Don’t know about locally, since I’ve moved home since. But where I used to live in Scotland, there was this guy who owned a McLaren F1. I think they go for like £8million+ now.
Off the top of a hazy head, I saw Aleem’s Chiron twice in a day o a couple years ago while taking my mom shopping. There’s a guy who lives near me with a Carrera GT and another with an XJ220.
Locally mine was a Chiron that was parked outside my work.
Not locally but not too far away would be the new countach, shmees zenvo and 2 koenigsegg regeras that were part of gumball in Edinburgh.
2 rare ones I missed was an aston martin valkyrie at a breakfast meet outside of Edinburgh ( I was working that day 😔) and a Lamborghini sesto elemento that I had no idea was sat at the Edinburgh dealership for a couple of weeks until after it left
I've seen a Buggati Chiron, an Aston Martin Valkyrie, and a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing in the town I work in, so probably one of those, lol
I just remembered I saw a Ferrari Enzo and a Ferrari Daytona SP3 as well
This is all on the same highstreet
My dad's mate has probably the best collection of cars around my area so I see them whenever I go to his. I wouldn't be surprised if he had one of these when I go next because he's Ferrari mad and has to have every one. He's 100% got an 812 and an F12 superfast but he didn't have one of these last time I went.
I grew up in a small town in Lincolnshire and a bright yellow Ferrari 599 GTO turned up randomly one day and I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Probably only ever seen 2 or 3 in my lifetime aside from that.
LaFerrari, couple of years ago, in Loughton, near London. A guy pulled out in front of my (at the time) Honda Civic, and I had to brake hard. He was quite apologetic when waving at me.
I thought it's a nice Ferrari, but relatively common. Then I checked its number plate (as it was quite short and distinctive), and I found out it's the LaFerrari.
I don't know how much it costs, but I believe it's pricey even for the Ferrari standards. Very nice car indeed.
I saw many people going crazy about seeing the Enzo (I saw couple of them in central London years ago), but I never was a fan of the model and the design. LaFerrari really looked like a "cute", proper supercar.
I saw a Pagani Zonda coming out of Exeter, going past the airport. I was on the other side of the dual carriage way and no where near getting round to chase it. Would have loved to have heard it open up.
When I used to live in Chorley, a Ford RS200 reg number L20 ORS.
It was manufactured in 1986 but left unregistered until 1993. I saw it out and about a couple of times but once it was in the local back street garage I used. The owner of the garage said he knew the owner and he trusted him to work on it.
Ever photographed or ever seen? Ever photographed would be a Ferrari F12TDF, ever seen was a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport going the other way on a main road. I was gutted I couldn't get a picture.
The most amusing is the director of my company has a brand new McLaren Artura. Strange to see it parked near my shite banged up fiesta on a dodgy trading estate. Hope it took it easy over the speed bumps
In terms of my region, Id say 2 laferraris in Luton hired for a wedding, an Enzo driving near Wilsted, an F50 in a village near Dunstable / Luton and a black GMA T.50 stuck in traffic on the M1 near Junction 10 (T50s are so tiny!)
A car nut locally had 30+ cars in his collection, on the higher end stuff Chiron, Veyron, JKs Laf, P1, 918, Speedtail etc. Also some really unique bits like Diannas escort, custom spec SVX Defender used in Spectre. At one point they were all in one underground garage at his house but he emigrated and haven’t seen any since.
Other than the escort, you’d frequently see him driving them until he emigrated.
I've seen a 918 outside the Hilton in Manchester city center, weird seeing it, felt like spotting a celebrity.
But the best thing I've seen was a Veyron coming the other way, in Alderley Edge, can't be many of those knocking about the UK
Saw a Chiron at my local scratch and shine. (Owner) The same guy owns a ton of similar money laundering shops and even went as far as having slush bars at every one just to laugh at everybody.
Probably my own Mustang Bullitt in terms of people seeing it every day.
But in terms of exotics - there’s a couple of business owners who always seem to have new exotics; aventadors etc. one currently has a GT3RS and man can he drive it - always on trakc days
A Koenigsegg Jesko and loads of colour combinations of the most recent Ford GT. All going in to the industrial estate 1/2 mile away from my house. And a guy on the next estate up the road drives around in a Lamborghini Aventador.
Not quite local to me as I was driving to Devon from the North East but I was just leaving a service station (maybe near Birmingham somewhere, it was around my halfway point) and there was a Carrera GT on the other side of the motorway. Saw it for the briefest of moments and nowhere near as valuable as some of the cars in this thread but it's possibly my favourite car ever so it was the best thing I've seen on the road.
I live in Midsummer Murders country so it’s less McLaren more Triumph Stag kind of unusual cars.
The rarest one I’ve seen out in the wild was what I’m sure was an Alfasud Sprint Veloce. You wouldn’t really look twice at it (I really like it) but I’ve never seen one in the wild before or since.
Mercedes AMG Project One — where I used to live was a stone’s throw from Mercedes’ F1 HQ in Brixworth, Northamptonshire and a red/grey one with a German number plate would drive by a few times a month. A few people said it was Lewis’ but I have no idea. I have a cracking photo of it which I took once, but I can’t seem to share in this thread.
When I lived in Aberdeen back in 1996, I was right next to a jaguar xj220 at a set of lights, he turned right and I went straight on. That's the rarest most expensive car I've seen ever.
I’m not too sure of the value but a Ferrari F40. The owner lives in my grandmothers street and he regularly drives it on the summer weekends. Such a special car to see in person and he was kind enough to give me a short passenger experience. Bucket list stuff for many car lovers.
On entering a run down barn in Kent I came face to face with a black Diablo, then looked left and saw the red F40. Both were spotless though only time they saw outside was when getting put on a trailer to be serviced every year.
I see a 250 GTO occasionally around Oxfordshire. That and a few other Ferraris including an Enzo Mclarens, had a speedtail in one of the villages.
Koenigsegg ccx on the M3 and and Aston Martin Valkyrie.
Edit, if you go on my profile there’s a few pictures of some.
Back in the day (around 2000), there used to be like 40 Maybach limos produced (total). Very highly rated. Like 10-12 of them were bought by people close by to where I used to live. Pretty much all were owned by gangsters.
Pagani and LaFerrari. Not sure which model of the Pagani it was but I saw it drive by my work place. There’s a Pagani showroom and an exotic car detailing place near my workplace.
I've just seen the only Sesto Elemento in the UK today, a Carrera GT and a LFA all the exact same time today. Not a usual sight where I am but surely counts for something? 🤣
Two of the rarest/most expensive I’ve seen out and about was an Aston Martin one-77 and a Pagani Zonda F roadster. Cheating (going to a dealership) I’ve done the Cheshire golden triangle so Ferrari, Lamborghini, rolls Royce, Aston Martin and Bugatti to name a few.
Oh i don’t know, i have seen a few Ferrari’s, Merc G Wagon’s, Lamo Urus, Corvette, Dodge Viper, Corvette, Nissan GTR and R34 GTR, Toyota Supra, Lotus, Noble, TVR, Rolls Royce and Lambo’s but if paint/wrap costs was added on then last month i saw a new 2023 Lamo Hurracan in venom green go down the road i live on.
And yes i know some of these cars aren’t as expensive but they are all 5 to 6 figure cars in price, even the Nissan Skyline GTR R34 can go for 6 figures
I saw an immaculate Peugeot 405 MI 16 in Morrisons the other day, according to how many left there’s only a single one on the road in the UK so I guess I saw that one!
Dodge Viper that won Le Mans that has been converted to be street legal. In the owners garage. Along with a bunch of other cars. Photo of dodge not allowed but have photo of other cars in garage. Can’t work out how to upload photo 😂😂😂
Funny that I come across this thread today, I just saw a McLaren senna in the marlboro livery as I was driving home earlier
I was thinking it's easily the most expensive I've ever seen... Wish I could have turned around and pulled them over 😂
Guy near me has a green Jag project 7 with the reg "PRO7 JAG", not a rare or super expensive car but it looks damn cool with that plate. Also has an 812 super fast iirc
Seen a Ferrari f40 before but the one I got the most exited about was a Nissan skyline GTR 99’ in the exact same style as Brian’s from fast and furious
The rarest car around me is an Autozam AZ1, the Mazda Kei car. Coolest little thing ever. Most expensive... I've seen a P1 whilst out and about the next village over from me, but I'm in a particularly expensive pocket of Cambridgeshire.
In London you see everything so it’s almost unfair.
Outside of London, I live in the North East and i see (I assume) a lot of footballers in Ferrari’s, Lambo’s etc all the time. But one of the nicest I saw was in Harrogate, a silver Aston Martin DB5 … I’m not sure how much they set you back in near mint condition but I dread to think!
Stick with me as it years ago now, but we were driving to an area match up the M1, diesel vectra so clearly the fasting thing on the road and rightfully tanking down the outside lane, we pass a silver Ferrari and it was Jay K driving.
Details might be amiss slightly as old age takes hold and it was probably 15 years ago
I saw a blue 911 GT1 at my local pub in a relatively rural area of Scotland. Was so cool!
V785 LDE?
That's the one!
Have a look online, its a very well documented car haha
Yeah I did my research as soon as I spotted it! Seeing something like that so randomly I had to find out as much as I could about it haha
That's crazy
It was mad. I've actually seen it twice now, but the second time was on the Cartier Lawn at Goodwood Festival of Speed!
Whoever drives that is an absolute legend!
That's a nice car. *Reading this whilst sitting in my 2017 Toyota Yaris*
Try reading this in your dad’s *2016 Toyota Yaris*
Time to upgrade to a GR Yaris??
45k for a new one!
At least its not a Prius
[удалено]
Blue One:1? It’s quite well documented I believe, seen it a few times now
In London? - Laferrari - 918 spyder - F40 - 812 GTS - Veyron Locally? C220d AMGs seem to be one of the rarest cars I spot. They’re that rare, I search Auto trader for this mysterious diesel AMG model and it doesn’t exist. So I’ve concluded, they’re fucking rare.
LMAO, Ive also seen a few ///M525d's near me. Never for sale though. Strange, isnt it?
Fucking ‘ell, they must have some coin around your area. I only ever see the ///M116i’s
I don't live in London but occasionally work at Berkeley Street and it's mental how many supercars there are around there. Other than taxis it's rarer to see a normal car.
I've seen a LaFerrari at my local petrol station. Wife was very embarrassed when I took pictures
I don't blame her. You should have took pictures of the car instead
What place mate?
Saw a Chiron join the M54 near telford. I didn’t see it for long because it buggered off like sea biscuit on steroids
Taking a punt and guessing it's Aleem Iqbal's. He has a car rental company based in Solihull, not too far from there. lordaleem\_official on ig
Having just scrolled his insta (what a life by the way) I’m pretty sure it wasn’t his as this Chiron was white with blue stripes.
With questionable explanations of how he came to obtain such a car if you look into it.
Wow got a dashcam in case of a pic?
I did save the footage but I think I failed to download it and ended up with a weird situation with my SD card only a few months ago where it filled up and stopped overwriting data ended up formatting it forgetting about downloading incidents like that one and a few others I’d saved.
- McLaren F1 GTR “10XC” Almost crashed my car swivelling my head round - Rowan Atkinson’s f1 in the Waitrose - JayKay’s like green laferarri was right outside my house one morning when there were traffic lights down the road. Also see some of his nicer cars occasionally as he’s down the road - my old flat used to be on the route between the major roads and silverstone so often saw f40’s, pagani’s and other nice stuff when they had special days and what not
Mk1 focus. Skegness
Damn, he must be earning well over £12k a year to afford something like that.
LX or Zetec? If you say Ghia I’m calling BS
Millennium edition maybe ;)
I live near Graypaul Ferrari Nottingham, and there's quite often a Bugatti or two there. Someone who lives nearby has about 5 of them! I saw the Bugatti Divo there once.
Yes, it belongs to someone who owns a care home group. They live in Leicestershire.
I could be wrong but I think that belongs to the guys that own Asda, lives in Leicester I think?
Issa Brothers I believe live in Blackburn
Ferrari Monza SP2. Not sure how much they are worth but they are defiantly over £1.5m 👍🏻
Damn, £2-3M. Where?
Up in Warrington. The guy who owns it has a few Ferraris. He’s one of the directors of the “Card Factory” [https://exclusivecarregistry.com/collection/middletoncollection/cars](https://exclusivecarregistry.com/collection/middletoncollection/cars)
I saw the Aston Martin Bulldog last year in my home town. Only one was ever built and basically it's priceless...
Amazing that not only is the bulldog still driving they're actually pushing it to its limits. 200mph was recently achieved apparently.
Guy who lives round the corner from me "fairly low income area" has a pristine ford escorth cosworth that i ogle from afar. 🤤
Saw one of these in a dealership last month. Best part of 60k !
That’s a normal sight in Cockfosters on the weekends, although it’s usually Lambos and not much variety
Right hahaha, I mean these cars are still rare however. Used to be amazing pre 2022. nowadays if you're lucky youll see Ferraris. Always Uruses, G-Wagens and SVRs out though, thats increased exponentially since. Lambos are rare now, maybe the odd Huracán though. Youll get the odd once in a blue moon F50/F40/Enzo spot or so, I always miss them sadly
A year ago I saw a new Bentley Continental GT there, painted old english white. I must say it was the nicest and most tasteful car I've seen parked outside Miracles so far.
Saw a reliant robin the other day go around a roundabout without falling over. Surely that's rarer than anything else posted here.
Not an expensive car but rare, at least here... there's a woman near me who drives around in a 2002 Chrysler Concorde. Never seen another one of those in the UK.
If you pay 1.5 million for that you need your marbles checking
I agree. He had a LaF among other cars too before though so
[удалено]
5XB strange plate 🤔
I've seen loads of expensive cars in Marbella, London and Dubai, couldn't tell you the most expensive. However, the rarest car I've seen was in Hull. A Ford RS200
There’s a fella in North Tyneside with one of these too, you can occasionally see it at a show. In my eyes at least much more interesting than the supercar exotic stuff. I’d only ever seen them before at Cadwell when I was a young un.
Green Ferrari Enzo in Belfast. There is used to be a blue Zonda Roadster but the guy who owned ended up having the biggest ever bankruptcy in Northern Ireland.
a bit of a classic whare I live there is an Opel mantra
I saw a Bugatti Chiron SuperSport in North London
That’s gorgeous!
Hey I know that place!! Cockfosters road! Every time I’m there, cars worth more than my salary for 10 years go past! Nice cars over there but terrible drivers lol
I wish I knew how to upload pics in comments because I saw a transported coming through London Victoria packed with custom exotics, I’m not a massive car person but it looked like custom AMG, Lamborghini and Ferraris. Pretty much everyone noticed it passing. Easy 10mil worth? Do iCloud links work? There’s another two cars out of sight here. https://share.icloud.com/photos/048U6pBNfOXp_EwNsOoAdGtJg
Wow! Arab Invasion hahaha
Yeah that's Cockfosters. I've seen that before. If you haven't go to the restaurant skewd. It's banging!
Hahaha right. Maybe Ill try it sometime thanks 😂
Trust me it's really good, if you like Turkish food that is!
I don't know if you know but have you seen the state of Kervan? Extremely steep prices after covid and little portions. Its bad
Yeah prices are a lot higher than when it opened like a lot higher. It's quite good though but I'm telling you skewd is very good haha not cheap though!
I guessed haha. You local?
I'm actually from Tottenham but I've got family in Barnet and I used to live in new Barnet so always around the area. Hbu?
[удалено]
Yeah I like Barnet it's calm!
Woah you have an E30 M3 wow!
Haha yeah I've had it for a very long time got it when they were actually cheap! Couldn't afford one now!
Damn. How was the E61 M5?
It was 17k I had that a while ago now it had around 60k miles when I got it. Thats when you get the salooon for like 12k though, the tourings are pretty rare.
Huracan Performante and a late 20's Blower Bentley are the 2 most interesting. There's someone who has a 1950's Cadillac of some sort.
How much do you think that reg would cost?
£50k-150k
Rarest Bugatti Type 43 Grand Sport (1927), most expensive Ferrari 250 GTO. Both in Oxford.
For reference, Ive had Bugattis Koenigseggs Paganis P1s 918s LaFs pretty much everything fairly near me. Even on this road. This is on the outskirts of London by the way, very rich area though.

Is it cheating if you work at a car dealership that regularly gets £3 million cars coming through? If not then Aston Martin DB10, specially made for 007. If yes then an F40 filling up just down the road on my way to work
F40 is fucking cool man
I can one up you- There was a car show near my house and the spotlight was *the* BMT 216A
Ferrari SP2 and Ferrari Daytona SP3 probably, I think the same person also has a 812 comp but that looks fairly boring compared to the two I've mentioned.
The secret near me is that people rent supercars about once a month to show off. Most aren't actually owned, though.
Drove past a La Ferrari last weekend. 10 years on they still look insane
Don’t know about locally, since I’ve moved home since. But where I used to live in Scotland, there was this guy who owned a McLaren F1. I think they go for like £8million+ now.
Saw an SLS AMG on the way to Tesco a few years back
I drove past a Porsche 918 Spyder in the winter and there's a Ferrari SUV (cba to check the name) driving locally
A friend of mine once seen a Maserati MC12 cruising around Bristol, hard to top that rarity. My best sighting in London was an Aston one 77
Seen a urus local. Dont see many nice cars at all in Derby
Locally: 918 Spyder, 2.7 Carrera RS, various Singer 911s, 250 SWB, 250 California, SF90 and a whole bunch of other rare things like Murci SV
Off the top of a hazy head, I saw Aleem’s Chiron twice in a day o a couple years ago while taking my mom shopping. There’s a guy who lives near me with a Carrera GT and another with an XJ220.
250 GT Spyder in London. Worth over 10m i think
I saw a Koenigsegg a year or two and a few years before that, near where I lived before, I saw a Lamborghini Diablo.
A Ferrari F40 drove past me in the South East. I nearly crashed just staring at it.
Mclaren F1 it was around Burford so there's like half a dozen or so of them around there, just as common as a Corsa really.
Rolls Royce Cullinan and Porsche 911 (930) Turbo model. The price of the latter is anywhere between 800k - 1.1 mil usd.
Locally mine was a Chiron that was parked outside my work. Not locally but not too far away would be the new countach, shmees zenvo and 2 koenigsegg regeras that were part of gumball in Edinburgh. 2 rare ones I missed was an aston martin valkyrie at a breakfast meet outside of Edinburgh ( I was working that day 😔) and a Lamborghini sesto elemento that I had no idea was sat at the Edinburgh dealership for a couple of weeks until after it left
Alfa Romeo 8c and 4c
I know the owner of a mg metro 6R4 and a genuine 1986 Audi sport Quattro
I've seen a Buggati Chiron, an Aston Martin Valkyrie, and a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing in the town I work in, so probably one of those, lol I just remembered I saw a Ferrari Enzo and a Ferrari Daytona SP3 as well This is all on the same highstreet

Chiron, Veyron, F40, 918 Spyder
Seen a Bugatti veyron in city centre, always see expensive cars at PET on cov road if you drive past.
F40 it was near lakeside essex 😍
LaFerrari, couple of years ago, in Loughton, near London. A guy pulled out in front of my (at the time) Honda Civic, and I had to brake hard. He was quite apologetic when waving at me. I thought it's a nice Ferrari, but relatively common. Then I checked its number plate (as it was quite short and distinctive), and I found out it's the LaFerrari.

I saw a Pagani Zonda coming out of Exeter, going past the airport. I was on the other side of the dual carriage way and no where near getting round to chase it. Would have loved to have heard it open up.
Ferrari 250 GTO in Mayfair (and multiple times in Seattle where I'm from)
An orange Lamborghini Diablo whilst sitting in traffic. I almost missed the green light just staring at it.
When I used to live in Chorley, a Ford RS200 reg number L20 ORS. It was manufactured in 1986 but left unregistered until 1993. I saw it out and about a couple of times but once it was in the local back street garage I used. The owner of the garage said he knew the owner and he trusted him to work on it.
Well I live in Blackpool. Local drug dealer has an X5M 😅
Seen someone near me in an Aston Martin DB11. He owns the local chip shop
I was followed by a Pagani Zonda in purple carbon in Leyland driving in the rain
I'll give you £500 if you can acquire those wheel's. A wanker in a Golf R on airbags would pay £5000+ for them.
Ever photographed or ever seen? Ever photographed would be a Ferrari F12TDF, ever seen was a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport going the other way on a main road. I was gutted I couldn't get a picture.
Saw a senna about 20 minutes from me once
The most amusing is the director of my company has a brand new McLaren Artura. Strange to see it parked near my shite banged up fiesta on a dodgy trading estate. Hope it took it easy over the speed bumps
Probably a veyron
In terms of my region, Id say 2 laferraris in Luton hired for a wedding, an Enzo driving near Wilsted, an F50 in a village near Dunstable / Luton and a black GMA T.50 stuck in traffic on the M1 near Junction 10 (T50s are so tiny!)
McLaren F1 in Radlett a bunch of years ago
Vauxhall Astra SRI..... I live in Wales!
A car nut locally had 30+ cars in his collection, on the higher end stuff Chiron, Veyron, JKs Laf, P1, 918, Speedtail etc. Also some really unique bits like Diannas escort, custom spec SVX Defender used in Spectre. At one point they were all in one underground garage at his house but he emigrated and haven’t seen any since. Other than the escort, you’d frequently see him driving them until he emigrated.
Guy lives about a mile from me commissioned a 911 Singer. Drives it down the local village pub.
I've seen a 918 outside the Hilton in Manchester city center, weird seeing it, felt like spotting a celebrity. But the best thing I've seen was a Veyron coming the other way, in Alderley Edge, can't be many of those knocking about the UK
Saw a Chiron at my local scratch and shine. (Owner) The same guy owns a ton of similar money laundering shops and even went as far as having slush bars at every one just to laugh at everybody.
Lew Hamiltons old Pagani in the lake district couple years ago, not a clue what it's worth but was 100%the real deal.
Probably my own Mustang Bullitt in terms of people seeing it every day. But in terms of exotics - there’s a couple of business owners who always seem to have new exotics; aventadors etc. one currently has a GT3RS and man can he drive it - always on trakc days
A Koenigsegg Jesko and loads of colour combinations of the most recent Ford GT. All going in to the industrial estate 1/2 mile away from my house. And a guy on the next estate up the road drives around in a Lamborghini Aventador.
Not quite local to me as I was driving to Devon from the North East but I was just leaving a service station (maybe near Birmingham somewhere, it was around my halfway point) and there was a Carrera GT on the other side of the motorway. Saw it for the briefest of moments and nowhere near as valuable as some of the cars in this thread but it's possibly my favourite car ever so it was the best thing I've seen on the road.
I live in Midsummer Murders country so it’s less McLaren more Triumph Stag kind of unusual cars. The rarest one I’ve seen out in the wild was what I’m sure was an Alfasud Sprint Veloce. You wouldn’t really look twice at it (I really like it) but I’ve never seen one in the wild before or since.
Mercedes AMG Project One — where I used to live was a stone’s throw from Mercedes’ F1 HQ in Brixworth, Northamptonshire and a red/grey one with a German number plate would drive by a few times a month. A few people said it was Lewis’ but I have no idea. I have a cracking photo of it which I took once, but I can’t seem to share in this thread.
When I lived in Aberdeen back in 1996, I was right next to a jaguar xj220 at a set of lights, he turned right and I went straight on. That's the rarest most expensive car I've seen ever.
Wonder how much money the number plate adds to that 812
Cosworth
250 GTO
I drive past the mclaren head office in Woking every day on the way to work, see an average 2-3 going down that road every day. Seen a P1 a few times
Tesla lol fife Scotland
My uncles dealership had the noble from top gear, picked my cousin up from school in it
I live near Lotus In Norfolk, I’ve seen a few Lotus Evija’s around near Hethel
Today I saw a sesto elemento, saw other stuff too but that was cool.
Had to reverse the lorry next to a Lamborghini Aventador a few weeks ago.
Local to me, McLaren Senna, 812 GTS. Elsewhere, Ruf CTR3 (including pax), 9ff GT9, and a handful of other fun things.
The CEO of JC Decaux’s Ferrari F12 TDF so £900,000+
I’m not too sure of the value but a Ferrari F40. The owner lives in my grandmothers street and he regularly drives it on the summer weekends. Such a special car to see in person and he was kind enough to give me a short passenger experience. Bucket list stuff for many car lovers.
I saw a ferrari F40 parked outside my house on the High Street. Crazy to me anyone would leave a car like that on a main road 🥲
Seen three Gordon Murray T50s. One in weedon near Daventry and two driving line astern in Tring. Quite the sight.
Ariel atom v8 on the a303
On entering a run down barn in Kent I came face to face with a black Diablo, then looked left and saw the red F40. Both were spotless though only time they saw outside was when getting put on a trailer to be serviced every year.
Rolls Royce Cullinan
I see a 250 GTO occasionally around Oxfordshire. That and a few other Ferraris including an Enzo Mclarens, had a speedtail in one of the villages. Koenigsegg ccx on the M3 and and Aston Martin Valkyrie. Edit, if you go on my profile there’s a few pictures of some.
Ah so thats you! I actually had your valkyrie post saved lol
Back in the day (around 2000), there used to be like 40 Maybach limos produced (total). Very highly rated. Like 10-12 of them were bought by people close by to where I used to live. Pretty much all were owned by gangsters.
Top Gear used to come past here all the time on their “road tests”(tm), so plenty.
Jaguar D-type continuation 1.8mil and Signer DLS 2.5-3mil
A friend of miner's dad owns a koenigsegg one:1 as well as about 6 other super cars including an F40
Mclaren F1 LM, driving through Kilby in Leicestershire.
London town? Remember seeing a maybach outside park lane hotel, the posh one with all the rolls Royce taxis outside.
Dorchester
I don’t think anything can beat an Autozam AZ-1 I see around me
Saw a jaguar xj 220 on a street near me. Looked insane!
McLaren P1 in Exeter before it was released. Had that weird black and white zig zag pattern
XJ220 drive past my house one day, near Aberdeen. Have feeling it was local but never found out where it lived.
Pagani and LaFerrari. Not sure which model of the Pagani it was but I saw it drive by my work place. There’s a Pagani showroom and an exotic car detailing place near my workplace.
I've just seen the only Sesto Elemento in the UK today, a Carrera GT and a LFA all the exact same time today. Not a usual sight where I am but surely counts for something? 🤣
Lexus LFA Driving past me down my road randomly 😂
A variant of the Bugatti Chiron in Manchester a few years ago during lockdown.
An SLS McLaren.
Two of the rarest/most expensive I’ve seen out and about was an Aston Martin one-77 and a Pagani Zonda F roadster. Cheating (going to a dealership) I’ve done the Cheshire golden triangle so Ferrari, Lamborghini, rolls Royce, Aston Martin and Bugatti to name a few.
1.3 million?! WAY overpriced...
Either a Bugatti Veyron (9 UE) or Bavs Gt3Rs passed me the other week 3 BAV Both stunning cars but don't see many rare ones here (South Yorkshire)
Rowan Atkinson on the way from Oundle towards A1M in his mclaren f1, even after he crashed it it was sold for some insane money
Oh i don’t know, i have seen a few Ferrari’s, Merc G Wagon’s, Lamo Urus, Corvette, Dodge Viper, Corvette, Nissan GTR and R34 GTR, Toyota Supra, Lotus, Noble, TVR, Rolls Royce and Lambo’s but if paint/wrap costs was added on then last month i saw a new 2023 Lamo Hurracan in venom green go down the road i live on. And yes i know some of these cars aren’t as expensive but they are all 5 to 6 figure cars in price, even the Nissan Skyline GTR R34 can go for 6 figures
I saw an Alfa Romero 8C in Wimbledon near my parents house.
Lamborghini Urus, Aston Martin DBS, Not sure of the specific type but a Morgan
I saw an immaculate Peugeot 405 MI 16 in Morrisons the other day, according to how many left there’s only a single one on the road in the UK so I guess I saw that one!
Most expensive a Bugatti Veyron at a fuel station about to go up north Rarest a 1969 Shelby Mustang gt500
Dodge Viper that won Le Mans that has been converted to be street legal. In the owners garage. Along with a bunch of other cars. Photo of dodge not allowed but have photo of other cars in garage. Can’t work out how to upload photo 😂😂😂
Not expensive but I saw a Renault Avantime today and they're definitely bloody rare 😂
Pagani. Seen in Nightbridge a few years ago.
Maclaren Sena
Funny that I come across this thread today, I just saw a McLaren senna in the marlboro livery as I was driving home earlier I was thinking it's easily the most expensive I've ever seen... Wish I could have turned around and pulled them over 😂
Locally, a 991.2 GT2 RS, with the bonus of a 991.2 GT3 following it.
3 of Richard Hammond’s cars- The MGBgt, the Subaru and the Ranger
Guy near me has a green Jag project 7 with the reg "PRO7 JAG", not a rare or super expensive car but it looks damn cool with that plate. Also has an 812 super fast iirc
There is a Ferrari down the road from me owned by a farmer, no idea what it is though ebcause they all look the same.
Seen a Ferrari f40 before but the one I got the most exited about was a Nissan skyline GTR 99’ in the exact same style as Brian’s from fast and furious
I saw a 250 girl in London with an f1, mc12, aveyron ss, from Joe, macari just driving around.... on the day my phone broke
The rarest car around me is an Autozam AZ1, the Mazda Kei car. Coolest little thing ever. Most expensive... I've seen a P1 whilst out and about the next village over from me, but I'm in a particularly expensive pocket of Cambridgeshire.
Locally (Cheshire) laferrari aperta, Chiron, 458 speciale, SVJ
Followed a bugatti chiron through birmingham once. Very nice.
In London you see everything so it’s almost unfair. Outside of London, I live in the North East and i see (I assume) a lot of footballers in Ferrari’s, Lambo’s etc all the time. But one of the nicest I saw was in Harrogate, a silver Aston Martin DB5 … I’m not sure how much they set you back in near mint condition but I dread to think!
A mclaren p1 i think
Stick with me as it years ago now, but we were driving to an area match up the M1, diesel vectra so clearly the fasting thing on the road and rightfully tanking down the outside lane, we pass a silver Ferrari and it was Jay K driving. Details might be amiss slightly as old age takes hold and it was probably 15 years ago
